If you were fast or interesting enough to be paid for your footage you might feel differently. Its a poor sport that keeps its own pros poor. Do right by those at the sharp end and embrace innovation opportunities for marketability. Eliminating such cheap and direct exposure really hurts. And safety? Have you ever ridden DH! It's a little plastic box and they're among the best. Ban them in lower classes, not the top.

Personally I think the robots are misguided 90% of the time, this time included, but they must be making some sort of point based on the visceral hate they are dragging out of the dark corners of this dork sport. so I figure, just keep on keeping on. some one has to give the middle managers something to talk about while they strap on their knee pads before dropping into half nelson.
